Erin does excellent threat
True, but one quibble -- change "girl" to "boy."
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just finished Deadline, and it fucking rocks, and if you have an ARC of Blackout...I'm gonna call your mom and tell her you are secretly married to a Roman-Catholic girl as pale as snow, who works in a sweat shop when she's not moonlighting as a call girl.
Lucky for me, it's not an ARC, just the first draft! Will you hurt me if I say that I think I liked Blackout more than Deadline, if only because we get Georgia's voice back ?
There are people with ARCs of One Salt Sea, however, and I am envious.

P-C I devoured the two Newsflesh books - and it was totally cool to see your name in the acknowledgements.

It's funny because I didn't do shit on the first two books. I am retroactively earning my credits on Blackout.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
P-C, you did encourage a lot of us to read her books - that has to count for something.

NPR interview with George R.R. Martin. He does read a chapter from early in ADWD so definitely spoilery through the beginnings of that book.

A bookish holiday, a reading retreat: [link]
“The happiest guests are big readers. I find them reading in the library, the garden and even in the kitchen while we cook dinner. The library is growing steadily, and many guests donate the books they bring to the castle to the association's library. Some people come alone, some as couples, and others in small groups. There are often local Italian members in the castle who come from Bologna, Ferrara, or Modena for dinner or to attend concerts, art exhibits, or other events. The unique mix of foreign and local friends of the Castle is a pleasure for both because there are always familiar faces around but always new people to meet as well. Many visitors enjoy trying out their Italian while the Italians take the opportunity to practice their English.”
